Contributor notes

Contributor Marie-Claude Larivière was born and educated in Québec, graduating with a PhD in systematic entomology from McGill University in 1990. For the following two years she did postdoctoral research at Agriculture Canada, Ottawa. In 1992, Marie-Claude moved to New Zealand to work as a full-time Hemiptera biosystematist with Landcare Research. From 1994 to 1997 she led the Biosystematics of New Zealand Land Invertebrates programme, and from 1999 to 2004, the Koiora-BioAssistT project (Biodiversity Assessment using Information Technology and Taxonomy). Marie-Claude is the author of over 70 papers and monographs, including three Fauna of New Zealand contributions, on the taxonomy, distribution and natural history of Hemiptera and Carabidae (Coleoptera). She has also published on North American Orthoptera and Carabidae. Many of her publications were written in collaboration with her husband André with whom she hopes to soon publish new works on New Zealand Hemiptera and Carabidae. Marie-Claude has a keen interest in biodiversity informatics, especially digital taxonomy, computer imaging, interactive identification, and web-publishing.

Contributor André Larochelle was born and educated in Québec, graduating in 1974 with a Brevet d'Enseignement spécialisé from the Université du Québec à Montréal. He has been teaching ecology at the Collège Bourget, Rigaud, Québec, up to 1990. With the encouragement of the late carabid specialist Carl H. Lindroth, André very quickly became interested to the study of ground-beetles. From 1975 to 1979 he was the co-editor of two entomological journals, Cordulia and Bulletin d'inventaire des insectes du Québec . From 1986 to 1992, he was honorary curator to the Lyman Entomological Museum and Research Laboratory, McGill University, Québec. In 1992, André moved to New Zealand to work as a research scientist. Currently, he is a Research Associate with the New Zealand Arthropod Collection, Landcare Research, Auckland. André has written over 400 papers on the distribution, ecology, biology, and dispersal power of North American carabids and other insects (including two handbooks on the Heteroptera of Québec). In 1993 he was co-author of a "Catalogue of Carabidae of America north of Mexico", and in 2003, with his wife Marie-Claude, he published "A Natural History of Carabidae" for the same region. His currrent main research interest is the faunistics and taxonomy of New Zealand ground-beetles, especially a soon-to-be-published revision of the tribe Harpalini.

Birgit E. Rhode was born and educated in Germany where she graduated with a PhD in marine biology from the University of Hamburg in 1987. Between 1980 and 1993 she worked in estuarine and coastal marine ecology (Institute of Hydrology, Island of Norderney, North Sea), studied the developmental morphology of polychaete sense organs, and lectured in general zoology and marine biology (Zoological Institute, Free University of Berlin). In 1993, Birgit moved to New Zealand. Always open to new challenges, she abandoned the marine environment and moved on to drier grounds becoming a Research Assistant to Marie-Claude Larivière's work on New Zealand Hemiptera. Birgit has always been fascinated with photography and structural details, so it was almost inevitable that with the introduction of digital imaging into the research environment she became more and more involved in imaging and graphics work. She is now fulfilling most of the imaging requirements of entomological systematists at Landcare Research.

 

I whānau mai a Marie-Claude Larivière i Québec. I reira anō ia e rapu ana i te mātauranga ā, riro noa i a ia tana Tohu Tākutatanga mai i te Whare Wānanga o McGill, i te tau 1990. Mō te rua tau i muri mai, kei Agriculture Canada, i Ottawa, ia e whāwhā ana i ētahi atu rangahautanga. I te tau 1992, ka neke mai a Marie-Claude ki Aotearoa, ka mahi hei kaitātai i ngā whakapapa o ngāi Hemiptera i Manaaki Whenua. Nāna i ārahi Te Tātainga o ngā Whakapapa o ngā Aitanga Tuarā-Kore a Tāne mai i te tau 1994 ki te 1997, me te kaupapa Koiora-BioAssistT (Te Aromatawai i ngā Koiora i runga i te Whakamahi i te Hangarau Mōhiohio me te Whakarōpūtanga) mai i te tau 1999 ki te 2004. He neke atu i te 70 ngā tuhinga kua puta i a ia, tae atu ki ētahi putanga e toru o Te Aitanga Pepeke o Aotearoa, e pā ana ki te whakarōpūtanga, te tohanga me te hītori māori o ngā Hemiptera me ngā Carabidae (Coleoptera). He tuhinga anō kua puta i a ia mō ngā Orthoptera me ngā Carabidae o Amerika ki te Raki.   Kua mahi tahi anō rāua ko tana hoa tāne, a André, ki te whakaputa i ngā tuhinga huhua. Ko te tūmanako, taihoa ka puta i a rāua he tuhinga hou mō ngā Hemiptera me ngā Carabidae o Aotearoa. Kei te ngākaunui anō a Marie-Claude ki te pārongo-koiora, tae atu ki te whakarōpūtanga ā-mati, te tārai whakaahua ki te rorohiko, te tautuhi i runga i te mahi pāhekoheko, me te pānui kōrero ki te pae tukutuku.

I whānau mai tērā atu o ngā kaituhi, a André Larochelle , i Québec. I reira anō ia e kura ana, ā, nō te tau 1974 ka whakawhiwhia ki tana tohu Brevet d'Enseignement spécialisé , mai i te Whare Wānanga o Québec ki Montreal. Taka mai ki te tau 1990, e whakaako ana ia i te mātauranga taupuhi kaiao i te Kāreti o Bourget, i Rigaud, Québec. I ngā akiaki a tērā tohunga carabid kua riro nei i te tirohanga kanohi, a Carl H. Lindroth, ka tere tupu tana hiahia ki te rangahau i ngā pītara noho papa. Mai i te 1975 ki te 1979 ko ia tētahi o ngā ētita o ētahi hautaka mātai pepeke, arā, o Cordulia me te Bulletin d'inventaire des insectes du Quebec . Mai i te 1986 ki te 1992, ko ia te kaitiaki utu-kore o te Whare Rokiroki, Rangahau Pepeke o Lyman, i te Whare Wānanga o McGill, i Qu é bec. I te tau 1992, ka neke mai a Andr é ki Aotearoa, ka mahi hei kaipūtaiao rangahau. I tēnei wā, kua noho ia hei Kairangahau i te Kohinga Angawaho o Aotearoa, i Manaaki Whenua ki Tāmaki-makau-rau. He nui ake i te 400 ngā kōrero kua tuhia e Andr é mō te tohanga, te taupuhi kaiao, te koiora, me te tītaringa o ngā carabid me ētahi atu aitanga pepeke o Amerika ki te Raki (tae atu ki ētahi pukapuka whakamārama i ngā Heteroptera o Québec) . I te tau 1993 ko ia tētahi o ngā kaituhi i te "Rārangi o ngā Carabidae o Amerika ki te raki o Mēhiko", ā, i te tau 2003, ka whakaputaina e rāua ko tana hoa wahine "Ngā Hītori Māori o ngā Carabidae" mō taua takiwā anō. Ko te aronga nui o āna rangahau i tēnei wā, ko te āhua me te whakarōpūtanga o ngā pītara noho papa o Aotearoa, tae atu ki tētahi tirohanga hou ki te iwi Harpalini, taihoa nei ka puta.

Ko Tiamana te ūkaipō o Birgit E. Rhode, i kuraina anō ia ki reira. Nō te tau 1987 ka whakawhiwhia ia ki tana Tohu Tākutatanga koiora moana e te Whare Wānanga o Hamburg, Mai i te tau 1980 ki te 1993, ko ngā taupuhi kaiao o te wahapū me te takutai ētahi kaupapa i āta tirohia e ia (i te Pūtahi Mātai i ngā Wai o Papatūānuku, Moutere o Norderney, Moana Raki), ka tirohia anō te hanga o ngā wāhanga rongo o ngā noke polychaete, ā, he pūkenga anō ia mō te mātauranga kararehe whānui me te koiora moana (i te Pūtahi Mātauranga Kararehe, Te Whare Wānanga Utu-kore o Berlin). I te tau 1993 ka neke mai a Birgit ki Aotearoa. He rawe ki te wahine nei ngā mātātaki hou. Whakarērea atu ana ngā mahi ki tai, tahuri mai ana ki uta, me te noho hei Kaiāwhina Rangahau mā Marie-Claude Larivière i āna mahi tirotiro i ngā Hemiptera o Aotearoa. He tino kaupapa pārekareka ki a ia te tango whakaahua me te hanga o ngā mea ora ā, i te urunga mai o ngā whakaahua ā-mati ki te ao rangahau, ka kaha ake tana whakapau kaha ki te tārai whakaahua me ngā mahi whakairoiro. Ināianei, ko ia kei te whakaea i te nuinga o ngā tono tārai whakaahua a ngā kaitātai whakapapa pepeke a Manaaki Whenua.
